This Privacy Policy explains how Amar Khanderia (“we,” “us,” “our”) handles information for the website Walking with Shakti (www.walkingwithshakti.com). We follow Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) and align with other applicable regulations (including the EU’s GDPR) to handle data with transparency and care.
What We Collect (on this website)
- Analytics data only. We use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to gather non-identifiable info such as pages visited, time on site, referral source, approximate location, and device/browser type.
- Server logs. Standard logs for security and site reliability.
We do not collect names or emails on this website. There are no on-site sign-up forms; community sign-ups are handled off-site.
Sign-Ups & Community (processed off-site)
If you choose to join The Journey Home, your name and email (and simple consent questions) are collected on a hosted page provided by our email service provider ([PROVIDER NAME]), not on this website. That provider stores the data for us so we can send access details, reminders, and related updates. We also use Zoom for event registration and access management. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in our emails.
Correspondence
If you email us directly, we receive whatever you send (e.g., your name, email address, and message) and use it only to respond and manage your request.
How We Use Information
- Analytics (website): to understand traffic and improve content and functionality.
- Community (off-site): to send access details, reminders, and updates related to The Journey Home, and occasional book/news updates if you opt in.
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies for analytics and site performance. You can manage cookies in your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect functionality.
Sharing & Service Providers
We share data with service providers who help us operate our website and community: [PROVIDER NAME] (email/landing pages), Zoom (events), and Google Analytics (measurement). They process data on our behalf under agreements that limit their use of your information.
International Transfers
Our service providers may process data outside your province or country (e.g., the United States or the EU). We take steps to ensure appropriate protections are in place.
Data Retention
- Analytics: retained per the analytics tool’s defaults/configuration.
- Community emails: retained while you remain subscribed; we remove or anonymize upon unsubscribe or reasonable request.
